This doesn't have to be an either/or situation.

People hate whataboutism until it’s used to cast shade on the enemies of America’s oligarchs.

I don’t get how people can hate billionaires, then spout rhetoric that directly helps their genocidal programs. Iran is the lesser evil in this fight, and in fact one of the only countries standing up to the world’s biggest threat- American/western imperialism. You don’t have to like them, but you also don’t have to carry water for the oppressors.

There is already sanctions on Iran related to human right abuses by countries backing a genocidal state with weapons and diplomatic protection. Israel and the usa are the countries that are not getting punished

The western leaders should be tried for crimes against humanity at the Hague. Don't you think indiscriminate bombing, genocide, and child sex trafficking are a bigger problem?

I’m against that too, but not wearing hijab is not a capital offense in Iran.

The famous case of Masa Amini was a case of resisting arrest gone wrong and she died from police brutality. Saying she was killed for not wearing hijab is like saying Eric Garner was killed for not paying taxes; it’s an incomplete story.

Among other crimes against humanity, yes. But when focusing on the US, also for all the crimes against humanity and all the other war crimes.

This absolves the USA of responsibility for waging illegal imperial war for profit and committing war crimes and funding and arming zionist genocide in Palestine.

Yup. Not a bad message, but a terrible messenger. His father is responsible for the massacre of thousands of protestors, and he was by all accounts part of that.
